Furniture chain Ikea has removed chocolate cake from store restaurants in 23 countries after authorities in China identified high levels of bacteria commonly found in human and animal feces in one batch of the treat.

However, none of the contaminated batch had been shipped to stores in the U.S. and the food in question – an almond, chocolate and butterscotch cake – had not been sold as a take-home product.

“This is not a product recall,” Ikea spokeswoman Ylva Magnusson said. “There’s no risk that anyone has a contaminated cake at home in their freezer.”

The contamination came to light earlier this week when the Shanghai quarantine bureau revealed it had destroyed 4,100 pounds of imported Ikea chocolate cake that was found to contain excessive levels of coliform bacteria.

So there you go: IKEA has been selling actual sh*t cakes. I suppose the lesson learned from all of this is that one shouldn’t go to a furniture store for the food.

I am not sure if this was your intention but if I was a more prejudice Swede I could have assumed you tried to be racist in one way or another.
I do not care, nor do I think that it was your intention but, you know, just saying, watch what you quote ;)

Oh and it was a family of bacteria that can be from many places, possibly from fecal matter, but it doesnt have to be. But china destroyed all batches before the proper tests to determine that could be made.
Not saying that it wasnt, I just think the article name is a bit too.. over the top.
